Özet (Çeviri)
As the first non-western nation to reach an advanced state of rnodernization, Japan illustrates a closed society where traditional patterns of rneaning still persist. In Japan, econornic indicators dernonstrate a decline in rnotivation of the work force. The objectives of this study are: ı . To dernonstrate the changes that have occurred recently in the Japanese econorny. 2. To present rnanagernent solutions needed to cornbat the social trends that are occurring alongside a declining Japanese econorny: aging population, decreasing loyalty, and individualisrn, all of which are new aspects of Japanese culture. The Japanese econorny has currently undergone vast changes: a perforrnance-based pay systern, a sharp decrease in Nikkei Japanese Stock Exchange, and the exchange rate of yen has been increasing to overcorne these econornic indicators Japan is trying to find new rnarkets rnainly in Asia for its products. First of all, a perforrnance based pay systern is put forward due to the fact that Japanese cornpanies are experiencing the dernands of having a higher rnean ernployee age. A s a result of seniority based wage systern a rise in the average age of ernployees tends to cause a pronounced increase in overall costs. Second there was a sharp increase in the Japanese stock exchange. This increase was followed by the increasing value of the yen. Also Low interest rates anda readily available interior market for Japanese products made a contribution. This stimulated the economic growth for two years. Due to the high wages Japanese products hardly sold in the international markets, this led to a great drop in the stock exchange. Third the exchange rate of the yen is increasing--this is providing a bigger problem for Japan due to the fact that it cannot export its products and still be competitive. Asa result of these three indicators Japan is trying to find new markets for its products. With the recent regionalization in the world, the country is focusing its attention on its neighbors. These changes create a need for restructuring, of the economy. Besides the economic trends there are social trends that are occuring in Japan: The aging population, decreasing loyalty and individualism. Moreover, with the Western influence on Japanese life, companies are looking into new management solutions to preserve economic prosperity. In the twenty-first century, Japan will have the most aged population in the industrialized world. Since there is no lay off policy, many aged overload workers are sent to overseas branches to provide training for the local employees. There is an increasing automation in the Japanese production facilities which reduces the unit cost fora product. The displaced workers due to automation are given new projects, which naturally expand the company very fast The increasing disloyalty in the Japanese work force is seen as an expected result of Western influences since World War II Today employees are questioning-whether or not they have to share the burden of the company's poor performance. Management is providing more benefits, because companies are motivated to compete for workers. Individualism is also believed to be from Western influences. In Japan, creativity is believed to result from individual thinking. Recently businesses have understood that only creative products will be a means of competition in the future. The Japanese government is providing funds for building technological centers jointly with companies to increase the number of creative thinkers. The threat ofa decline in the Japanese economy is very real (as seen in current economic indicators). The tried and true methods of worker obedience were expected to solve such declines. The new social trends of an aging work force, disloyalty to organizations, and individualism must be taken into account in the adoption of managerial solutions needed to ensure economic advancement in Japan.
